GeV emission of gamma-ray binary with pulsar scenario.

Abstract (from CDS):

We study GeV emission from gamma-ray binaries by assuming that the compact object is a young pulsar. We assume that the relativistic unshocked pulsar wind with a Lorentz factor of 104–5 can produce the GeV emission by the inverse-Compton scattering process in the dense soft-photon field of the companion star. The travel distance of the unshocked pulsar wind that moves toward the observer depends on the orbital phase of the pulsar. We discuss that the orbital modulation of the GeV emission is a result of combination of the effects of the travel distance of the unshocked pulsar wind and of the anisotropic soft-photon field of the companion star. In this paper, we study how the effect of the travel distance of the unshocked pulsar wind affects to the orbital modulation of GeV emission. We apply our scenario to two gamma-ray binaries, LMC P3 and 4FGL J1405.1-6119. We find that with the suggested system parameters of LMC P3, the observed amplitude of the orbital modulation and the peak width are more consistent with the model light curve by taking into account the effect of the travel distance. For LMC P3, we analyse the GeV spectrum with 8-yr Fermi-LAT data and discuss the broadband emission process in X-ray to TeV energy bands. We predict a possible system geometry for 4FGL J1405.1-6119 by fitting the GeV light curve.
